Runtime Error

Forum dedicated to the Scourge of War Game set during the Napoleonic Wars. Scourge of War: Waterloo follows in the footsteps of its American Civil War predecessors and takes the action to one of the most famous battles in history. It is by far the most detailed game about the final battle of the War of the Seventh Coalition.

Runtime Error

Post by Freddy Fudpucker »

I have been playing scourge of war since Christmas. Played through several scenarios (some more than once)and sandbox battles without issue.

But now I am experiencing runtime errors which end my games. This occurs every time, no matter which scenario I choose.

"This application has requested the Runtime to terminate....(snip)"

I had a save game in a corps size scenario from which I tried to replay the game, but the runtime error would occur at exactly the same place - to the second in fact on the game clock - every time.

I tried another scenario for which I have saved the save game, but the error occurred at the point I saved, so it occurs immediately on reloading.

How do I get past this problem so I can play waterloo again?

Okay. Back again.

Firstly, apologies - I meant to post this thread in the tech forum.

I think I've solved the runtime issue (*fingers crossed*). Full uninstall and re-install seems to have got me going again. Played a corps scenario to the end without the dreaded runtime error.

As an observation, I've realised that (certainly in the case of the corps scenario I've just replayed) that the runtime error occurred at the very end of the scenario when the End Battle result screen should have triggered.
